Wow sounds intriguing.
Nice message.

Learning the old testament like a christian.
The Medrash Rabba writes that Yaakov cried because the people around suspected him of pritzus for kissing Rachel. The Seforno adds that this is the reason why Yaakov right away told Rachel that he was related to her so that she too wouldn’t suspect him. The Netziv says a similar pshat on his own, he says that Yaakov cried to show Rachel that the kiss was because she was his relative and was not for lustful purposes. Rabbenu B’Chaye offers 2 explanations, either Rachel was under 3 or that he kissed her hand or forehead and not her lips.
I highly doubt Toi hates Chinan although I cant be sure of it.
If the majority share holders arent Jewish which is the case in almost every bank especially all the big ones so theres no problem. Even when there is Jewish ownership there are certain halacbcic devices used to avoid Ribbis.
Learnt is correct as is learned. Heres some other examples I found on google (ps.
Google is very smart)

Lol. Good one. You wait and then you pounce.

The word is hashKafah or hashkafic not hashgafic. Hashgafa is not a word.
How much was raised last year?
I wonder if this is what yeshivas will try next lol…

You reminded me of a joke. Here goes:
Two astronauts land on Mars. Their mission: to check whether there is oxygen on the planet.
‘Give me the box of matches,’ says one. ‘Either it burns and there is oxygen, or nothing happens’
He takes the box, and is ready to strike a match when, out of the blue, a Martian appears waving all his arms.. ‘No, no, don’t!. The two guys look at each other, worried. Could there be an unknown explosive gas on Mars. Still, he takes another match… and… A crowd of hysterical Martians is coming, all waving their arms: ‘No, no, don’t do that!’
One of the astronauts says, ‘This looks serious. What are they afraid of? Nonetheless, we’re here for Science, to know if man can breathe on Mars’.
So he strikes a match — which flames up, burns down, and….
NOTHING HAPPENS!!
So he turns to the Martians and asks, ‘Why did you want to prevent us from striking a match?’
The leader of the Martians says, “Today is Shabbos!”
I love how we so cavalierly discuss seeing Sheidim here as though it were no big deal. Doesnt the Gemara Daf 6a in Brachos say that one who sees Sheidim will go insane? The human mind (or most people except Shlomo and maybe some others over the centuries) cant handle seeing them.
You mean you have no clue what you are doing and got hired?

A great free anti-virus program with real time protection and that is constantly updated is Microsoft security essentials. Its a must have if you want free protection for your pc.
As for defragmenting I read online that its a bad idea. You can google it and see for yourself.

Would Rabbi Akiva Eiger z”l ask this question? so why do you??

“Are we such “ba’alei taive” that we must have cholov stam?”
What a joke. Have you ever seen the amount of junk food sold in Heimish kosher supermarkets. I think we have more junk food than the non Jews!

Also in Brooklyn men usually don’t exchange gut shabbos unless they know each other.”
How sad is that??????
Actually not sad at all just practical. If on the way home from Shul you can expect to meet 50 or more people (if your walk is a few blocks in Brooklyn. It is just not practical to say good Shabbos to everyone especially if you are walking with people and carrying on a conversation.
“Hevei makdim KOL ODOM b’sholom.”
This is only to someone who you should be speaking to.
Silver lining (lol)

Actually once Moshiach comes there will be Ahavas Yisroel but true Ahavas Yisroel can bring Moshiach but looking at how splintered we are now its sadly quite hard to imagine Moshiach coming about that way.
I think your sn is disrespectful inappropriate to one of the Gedolei hador shlita. You didnt write Rav and “rocks” is inappropriate.
It depends who would run it. If it were ran by our gedolim and they had full authority and there was no risk of “askanim” and extremists taking over I would be all for it but this is wishful thinking because we all know that the Eida would launch a revolution and things would get bloody. Until Moshiach comes and we have real ahavas yisroel and all those involved in klal work will do things lishma and not for gayva and kuvid for this cant be a reality.

If it would work the person would be in a lot of danger because sheidim are mazikim. I would not recommend this to anyone!

Very simple. The single girls and guys often use the good shabbos as a way to casually flirt. A few years back I was in such a place where gut shabbos is exchnnged betwenn both genders and it was abundantly clear to me that some girls were flirting with their enthusiastic good shabbos and with their coy smiles. As for the guys they were only too happy to say good shabbos to attractive dressed up girls. I would say as a rule that singles should not be saying good shabbos to each other as it can be flirtatious and gives an opening to start a conversation which im sure happens often.
Now for married people I think theres less of a problem but any time the good Shabbos is not 100% lishma as just a greeting its a problem.

I eat cholov stam as well but I dont feel the need to make up bogus excuses why I do. I grew up eating it and I like it and im not ready to give it up any time soon. Dont feel like you need to defend yourself on this issue. You actually have some legs to stand on here as opposed to some of your other opinions shittos and uvdos mentioned in other threads.
I dont know of an issur but there is an issue that nobody mentioned.
I remember hearing that the Nazis used to whistle specifically Mengele yimach shemo vezichro may he never leave gehennom used to whistle and act in a very care free relaxed attitude while making his selektion of who goes where. That is why many holocaust survivors are anti whistling and find it repulsive. This likely seeped down to their children and they got the idea that whistling is bad but not necessarily with the why so many assume it is halachic but it isnt a halacha to my knowledge.
Sam
Who says its permitted for single men and women to exchange greetings on the street? Even if such a krum pritusdig (yes its krum and pritzusdik for single men and women to stam wish each other good shabbos) minhag took hold in a community its a minhag shtus and one need not abide by it. In all honesty he shouldnt even be looking at them and if he is looking down they very likely wont bother wishing him a good Shabbos because hes a frumie so whats the point of flirting oops I mean wishing him a good Shabbos.

All you have to do is fool one media outlet because they often borrow stories from each other. The story started on haaretz (to my understanding) and was linked (theres a better word for it but it escapes me) by VIN to haaretz and I wouldnt be surprised if the daily znus got it from haaretz as well.
Ask your LOR or email a reliable Rabbi online.

Im not trying to get personal with you but did you ever learn a mussar sefer in your life?
If after 4 dates she isnt talking she either is a quiet girl or isnt into him or hes a bad conversationalist. Either way theres no reason to keep this going if they dont feel that theres something there.
Edys is subpar.
Well to me this is obvious. If you arent genuinely loving and friendly to another person why would they want to take steps to be more observant. You arent exactly making a great impression by acting like a missionary!
Kiruv means to bring close. That requires warmth and love. If you arent capable of loving your fellow Jew you will likely not be able to influence him or her either.
Smells like a troll thread

Btw its inconclusive that intelligence is hereditary. There are many factors that affect intelligence. Google it you will see what I mean.
